Wallpapers Collection New Tab

Posted: April 20, 2018

The Wallpapers Collection New Tab is a browser extension, which is only available to users of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The Wallpapers Collection New Tab offers to provide users with a rich collection of wallpapers that have been arranged into various categories, therefore making it much easier for the users to find entertaining desktop wallpapers that they would like to use. While there is nothing wrong with that, the Wallpapers Collection New Tab also offers an extra feature that some users are likely not to enjoy – the extension replaces the Web browser's default new tab page with a new search engine, which features a customizable background image. While this action is not harmful, it is certainly unwelcome since the page that the Wallpapers Collection New Tab promotes might not be as trustworthy as usual new tab pages like Google, Bing, Yahoo and others.

The Wallpapers Collection New Tab does not introduce other notable changes apart from replacing the browser's new tab with a website that hosts a search engine, links to popular Web pages, and to sites that specialize in hosting and distributing desktop wallpapers.

If you have installed the Wallpapers Collection New Tab and you are not happy with the changes it made, then you should proceed to uninstall this add-on either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security utility. The removal of the Wallpapers Collection New Tab should revert your browser's settings automatically to the values they had before this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) was installed.
